JOSEPH FOSSEL, OF FARNUMSVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS.

MACHINE FOR MAKING, CHARGING, AN D SEALING CARTONS.

Application filed July 24, 1916.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I JosEPH FossEL, a citizen of the United States,residing at F arnumsrillc, in the county of \Vorcester and State ofMassachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Machines forMaking, (fharging, and Sealing Cartons, of which the following is aspecification.

The object of the resent invention is to provide an improved machine formaking, charging, closing, and sealing, cartons. The invention isembodied in a plurality of mechanisms that are organized to coiiperatewith each other automatically in such manner that no human agency iscalled into service from the time the flat cardboard blanks are placedin stack-forming relation upon the primary feed-table, until after theformed, charged, closed, and sealed cartons are delivered out of themachine.

The char ing mechanism is controlled by the carton orming mechanismthrough the agency of the cartons themselves, in such manner that therewill be no delivery of charging material unless there is a carton inposition to receive it. 'This control of the charging mechanism avoidswaste of charging material if, for example, there should be an omissionof one or more cartons from the series of cartons undergoing the processof being formed, or if the driving of the ma-- chine should continueafter the supply of cartons was exhausted.

The foregoing brief outline of the invention is sulficient to give ageneral idea of the fundamentals, but the details of the mechanisms, andthe relation and cooperationof the latter, are hereinafter fullydescribed with reference to the accompanyin drawings. It may beexplained at this time that some of the elements have been omitted purposely from the general views of the drawings, especially Figures 1, 2and 3, to avoid confusion. This is because of the great reduction in thescale of the drawings, necessary to enable the general views to be madewithin the prescribed limits. However, the elements that are omitted asaforesaid are illustrated in special figures of the drawings, andreferences are made to them to indicate their intended relation to theother elements with which they coiiperate.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 10, 1919. Serial No. 110,860.

Of the accompanying drawings that form a part of this application:

Fig. 1 represents an elevation of the machine, being a general viewwherein the blanlefeeding mechanism is at the right, the chargingmechanism in the middle, and the delivery end at the left.

Fig. 2 represents an end elevation of the right-hand end of the machinewith reference to Fig. 1, the blank-feeding mechanism being at the left,the carton-forming mechanism being in the middle, and the chargingmechanism being at the top.

Fig. 3 represents a top plan view of the machine,some of the elementsbeing omitted as aforesaid, and a portion of the blank-feeding mechanismbeing broken away at the bottom of the figure. Accordin to this view,the carton blanks are fed, rst, from right to left (from A to B), thenfrom bottom to top (from B to C), then from right to left (from Cto D),the cartons being fully formed but open at one end for charging, thencethe charged cartons more from D to F through a semicircular path in aclockwise direction, with one intermediate position of dwell, and aredelivered from the left-hand end of the machine, in line with arrow F.

Fig. 4 represents a vertical section, on a larger scale, through themagazine in which the carton blanks are stored in stack-forming relationand from which they are fed one by one from right to left. The plane ofthis section is indicated in a general way by line 4-4 ofFig. 2.

Fig. 4 represents a face view of a card- .board blank from which acarton can be made, charged, present machine. slitted and scored processperformed A duplicate of this other sheet bearing scribed.

Fig. 5 represents a top plan view of that portion of the magazine thatis broken away from the lower part of Fig. 3, the scale of Fig. 5 beingthe same as that of Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 represents a sectional view, similar to Fig. 4, of the lowerelements of the magazine, but the movable bottoln is at its leftclosedand sealed by the This blank is suitably rior to undergoing the y thepresent machine. figure is shown on anfigures hereinafter .de-

hand ext eme in Fig. 6, whereas in Fig. 4 it is shown at the right-handextreme.

Fig. 7 represents a vertical section through the blank-feeding mechanismand pasteapplying mechanism intersected by line 77 of Fig. 1, the scaleof Fig. 7 being about. twice as great as that of Fig. 1. The point ofview of Fig. 7 corresponds to that of Fig. 2.

Fig. 8 represents a top plan view of a portion of the paste-applyingmechanism included in Fig. 7.

Fig. 9 represents an elevation, partly in section, of the paste-applyingdevice shown in Fig. 7, in the first stage of its operation upon acarton blank.

Fig. 10 represents a view similar to Fig. 9, showing the paste-applyingdevice in a more advanced position.

Fig. 11 represents a vertical section, somewhat diagrammatic, throughthe blank-forming mechanism intersected by line 11-11 of Fig. 3.

Fi 12 represents a sectional view, similar to Fig. 11, of some of thecarton-forming elements included in the latter figure, the carton beingin a more advanced stage of formation in Fig. 12.

Fig. 13 is a sectional view, similar to Fig. 12, showing the mechanismthat operates one of the carton-forming devices.

Fig. 11 is a view similar to Fig. 11 excepting that it omits some of thecarton-forming devices and includes a pressure device by which thelapped portions of the carton are pressed one upon another to cause thepaste on one of them to adhere to the other.

Fig. 15 is a view similar to Fig. 14, showing the pressure device incooperative relation to a carton-forming core.

Fig. 16 represents an elevation, partly in section, of the devices thatfold the flaps at one end of the carton to close the bottom of thelatter.

Fig. 16 represents a horizontal section of a carton before its end flapshave been folded by the devices shown in Fig. 16. This figure representsthe condition of the carton at the position indicated by line 16-16 ofFig. 16, and includes the core on which the carton is formed.

Fig. 16 represents a sectional view through a carton at the positionindicated by line 16"16 of Fig. 16, and includes the core on which thecartonis being formed.
